Crazy Jack (Jump'n'Run) by JyCet  Here is a nice little clone of Lode Runner, you know, the game which made it's creator, Doug Smith, a millionaire! This classic game has been given the GP32 treatment, and not only remade, but totally overhauled in the graphics department. You must go around a single platform screen collecting all the gold coins in the level while avoiding the meanies. But if you get cornered, you can dig out a block next to where you are standing to trap them, then run across their head! It might take a little while to get used to the controls if you're not familiar with the game, the B button will dig to your left, and A to your right, and then you move the controller in the direction you want to go. Don't worry about falling down as you can fall as far as you like without breaking your neck, in fact, you will have to to get some of the more cunningly placed coins. What really shines about this game is the overall quality and presentation. The title screen looks like a professional release and the graphics in the game have been finely tweaked and are very colourful. It's what we're coming to expect from it's author, Jycet, who has added the same quality finish to Aka Noid which has been subjected to much praise. Graphics: Detail effects and colourful levels make this a good looking game. Sound: Neat little ditties change with different levels and they sound very clear. Gameplay: Lode Runner as it should be played, plenty of action and fun to be had here. Progress: Looks very complete, only thing that would be nice is a level editor. Game Idea: It's a remake of a very old game so.. Replay Value: Passwords allow you to restart the level where you left off, which means there's plenty of replay until you complete all of the levels. An easy game to come back to for a quick bit of action. Overall: Another polished game gratefully recieved from JyCet and a great addition to the homebrew selection.
